a
Same Route Is Followed
Later By Scouts
On Trip
Completely lost in dense woods not
tar from Noxen, eighteen men who had
come from Wyoming Valley to pick
huckleberries, hiked for thirty-six
hours through the mountains until
they reached a cabin on Mehoopany
Creek where they were + given correct
bearings.
The men went by truck to Noxen
about a week ago and, leaving the
truck at Baker's Farm, moved on in
search of berries. At the end of the
day the group was unable to retrace
its steps to the spot where the truck
had been left and Samuel Vincent of
Wyoming was chosen to lead the
Jarty.
‘While searching for a way out, the
Wyoming party met four Edwardsville
men who also had lost their way. The
group followed a stream for about
eight miles until a stream blocked their
way. Darkness had fallen so they
stopped to sleep.
When daylight came, the men found
an abandoned lumber trail and follow-
ed it, eating berries for food. After
eighteen hours, the party reached the
Falls at Mehoopany Creek and followed
that creek until they reached a cabin
occupied by a Mr. Clark of Kingston,
who gave the men food and directed
them.
Farmers at Forkston estimated the
lost expedition had traveled 45 miles.
Mr. Vincent said the party saw two
large bears, bear dens and many rat-
tlesnakes. He killed two rattlesnakes,
one with 14 rattles and a button, the
other with 12 rattles and a button.
Among the members of the group
were: Rocco Confletti, John Zaremba,
George Zaremba, Joseph: Belgimonl,
Orfis Pisaneschi, James Beglimoni,
Jack Novulos, Anthony Novulos, John
Jacoby, Charles Jacoby, Michael Per-
lock, Roman Tomcak, Louis Tomecak,
Chester Zulinski, Alex Toncak and
Marshall Toncak.
A few days later Scoutmaster Wil-
liam E. Kaiser of Troop 29 and Scout
William H. Wilcox, armed with a com-
pass and the Harvey's Lake sheet of
the geological survey, traversed the
same wild part of the (North Mountain
in which the eighteen men were lost.
Mr. Kaiser and Mr. Wilcox visited
the camp of the Civilian Conservation
Corp. The officers in charge there re-
ported their men had killed twenty-
eight rattlesnakes in two weeks.

association held their annual meeting
last night as guests of Senator A. J.
Sordoni at a beef steak dinner held

tate. /
Activities of the past year were re-
viewed and plans for the future were
discussed. During the year closed the
fire company purchased a lake front
plot of land at Alderson from John
Redington and it is expected that
sometime soon a fire station, police
headquarters and township building
will be erected there. Also during
the past year the company organized
a Relief Association for its members,

a stamp of individuality. Such a stamp

describe or refer to that. event. The

Letters To That Effect Sent
To All Newspapers :
Taxpayers Association of Dallas
township has mailed the following
letter to all newspapers circulating in
this region. From its content. it may
be gathered that the association “ex-
pects to enter politics and submit a
list of candidates it approves within
the next few weeks.
The taxpayers association of Dallas
Township, through their efforts have
reduced all taxes 33 1-3 per cent. The:
per capita tax has been reduced 40
per cent. The tax payers Assocation
of Dallas Township stands for the
minimum of expense in all depart-
ments of Township expenditures, an
asks that each and every one pay his
or her just share of the cost of the
Schools, the Roads and the maintaine
ance of our Poor:
All taxpayers should realize when
they are voting that they must select
persons who will do their duty as re-
quired by law, and should perform
those duties without fear or favor. We
cannot look to the County Commis-
sioner’s office to collect our taxes. They
have no power to collect a Township
tax. We were so advised by the Com
missioners and their attorney. We
were also advised by our attorney
that the only way to collect delinquent
School tax is by action of the School
Directors. The Tax Payers Associa-
tion believe it is the duty of our
School Directors to collect their delin-
quent taxes as stipulated in the 1932
tax law.
If the School Directors fail to do
their duty as they have in the past
‘and the Schools are closed for the lack
of funds, who will be to blame? That
is what we predict will happen if the
officials fail to do their duty. For
this reason it is necessary that you
and the rest of the voters select
